When Penn & Teller reopen their two-decade-strong show at the Rio in a few weeks, it’s safe to expect it’ll be just as edgy and funny as it has always been. There will be some familiar tricks in the mix, including some classic illusions and material from earlier in the duo’s 40-plus years performing together. Other prominent elements, like the finale from recent years involving the fantastical appearance of an “elephant” named Elsie, might not be in the cards. Photo: Denise Truscello Photo: Courtesy

In last month’s announcement that the show would return to the Penn & Teller Theater on April 22, Penn Jillette said, “We haven’t been onstage in over a year, so we don’t know whether the audience will be coming to see us do miracles, or just to see if we remember which way to face onstage.”
